Survivor România 2022 is the third season of the Romanian reality competition show, Survivor România. As with the previous seasons, the season features 24 contestants divided into two tribes: "Faimoșii", composed of twelve high-achievers who excelled in their fields, and "Războinicii", composed of twelve everyday Romanians.

The season premiered on 16 January 2022 and concluded on 31 May 2022, where Alex Delea was named the winner over Elena Chiriac winning the grand prize of 100.000 € and title of Sole Survivor. It was the first season to air on Pro TV and was filmed in La Romana, Dominican Republic from January to May 2022.

Production In September 2021, it was reported that Pro TV Studios were in talks with Acun Medya, who own the rights to Survivor România, to revive the show in 2022. On 12 October 2021, Pro TV aired a teaser trailer, officially confirming that the series would return for a new series in 2022 on Pro TV. Following the announcement of the series, Antonii Mangov, the Programming Director Pro TV said: "We are pleased to announce that in 2022 we will be adding this incredible format to our portfolio. Survivor is already a successful show in Romania, but we will add a touch of what Pro TV represents, which guarantees top-class entertainment." Filming began in January 2022.

Twist The season included a twist called Exile Island. Since cycle 6 till cycle 11, in each cycle after the first Reward Challenge, each tribe must exile one teammate. The nomination is made by the member of their own tribe who achieved the best results in the Reward Challenge. The exiled contestants are sent to a remote location, entirely separate from the existing camps, where they will fend for themselves until last Reward Challenge of the cycle.

Broadcast It was initially broadcast from January 16 to May 21, 2022 on Pro TV and Voyo and airs on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays at 8:30 pm.

Contestants

The Faimoșii tribe was announced by Pro TV on December 13, 2021. Notable cast included former professional mixed martial artist, kickboxer and boxer Cătălin Zmărăndescu, former professional football player Robert Niță, Laura Giurcanu, the winner of Season 2 of Next Top Model and Emil Rengle the winner of Season 8 of Românii au talent. The Războinicii tribe was announced by Pro TV on January 10, 2022. Notable cast included Blaze, vlogger and finalist of Season 3 of Mireasa and Elena Matei, finalist of Season 9 of Chefi la Cuțite.

Six contestants were added later in the game in both tribes, including Marian Drăgulescu, multiple world champion and Olympic medalist in artistic gymnastics.

On Week 11, the sixteen remaining players merged but despite living on the same beach, tribes would still be split, competing against each other in challenges and fending for themselves, in a similar vein to the One World twist from the American version. On Week 13, fourteen of the fifteen remaining players were spread across two tribes of seven. The Războinicii and Faimoșii tribes were renamed Tigrii and Vulturii. Elena Chiriac and Ștefania Ștefan, the players with the best sports performances from the former tribes Faimoșii and Războinicii, determined the names and composition of the new tribes through consecutive selections. Due to medical intervention by production, CRBL did not attend tribe switch and later joined the tribe that lost the next Immunity Challenge: Vulturii.

The individual phase of the game occurred with 8 players left.
